Thank You MagicAndre1981.

Even after using the Open Elevated Command it didn't work, but i copied the bootPrep_BASE+CSWITCH_1 files to another partition on the drive. It worked.

01_summary_start

bootDoneViaPostBoot="129079"

01_summary_end

bootDoneViaPostBoot="90403"

If i am right it reads 129secs and 90secs respectively.

Are these timings good.

It runs on Windows 7 Ultimate x64 with 4GB RAM and a processor clock speed of 3.10GHz

After installing full SP1 dvd mine became worse after running this.

can you explain this? Have you compared the timings from the XML ?

AMD Athlon 64 X2 3.10 GHZ

Asus M3N78-EM motherboard.

2x2GB DDR2

500GB SATA II HDD

Nvidia GeForce 9800gt 1024mb

Windows 7 Ultimate x64 (with all updates)

it is still too long. Make a full trace:

zip the boot_BASE+CSWITCH+DRIVERS+POWER_1.etl and share the zip to me.

Running SP1 I improved this by running command which improves reboot time. goes through same things like 6 or 7 reboots

xbootmgr -trace rebootCycle -prepSystem -verboseReadyBoot

xbootmgr -trace boot never improved my boot time much only reboot time (Before SP1)

Might want to paste this in first post. I think these are updated versions

Windows SDK 7.1 (contains WPT 4.7)

actually installs Windows Performance Analyzer 4.8.7701

A small file will let you download the Windows Performance Tool Kit and not the whole SDK

For this release, the Windows SDK is available thru a web setup (this page) that enables you to selectively download and install individual SDK components or a via an ISO image file so that you can burn your own DVD.

I ran this and it shows it improved my time. I don't understand how when I reboot with my stopwatch it shows 65 seconds to reboot and boot is about same

It was same time before 65 seconds

bootPrep_BASE+CSWITCH_1.etl I see 180

boot_BASE+CSWITCH_1.etl I see 28

EDIT: This is SP1 full install

I know that there is a new version and I use it. I keeped this version here, because there is no alternative download link. The VS2010 Kit is still not updated. Some users have issues with the Web installer and they don't want to or can't download the new SDK ISO.

Both tools use the Windows Kernel functions, so I can't understand why the new version work better.

If you are a Windows Vista User:

Make sure that EnablePrefetcher registry setting is not disabled and the ReadyBoost service is running and set to start automatically.

i can't enable it anyway..

btw, the superfetch is enable..(this laptop using vista 32)
